Template:Pre2 not behaving correctly #468

Open desb42 opened 5 years ago

desb42 commented 5 years ago

As part of my research on template data, I came across en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Chembox_Structure This was incidental in finding I was missing paramOrder in my processing of templatedata

However, an entirely different issue was identified The Usage section uses en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Chembox_Structure/doc/parameter_list Comparing this chembox Note mediawiki interprets the wikitext, xowa does not

Template:Pre2 seems to be the culprit, and hidden inside that seems to be some fancy nowiki manipulations

(probably related to #259)

Having done a little more digging it seems that there are times when \

 is not a \
In the screenshot of the enwiki sandbox

The wikitext of interest is the line
<pre<includeonly></includeonly>>[[fred]]</pre>
Note the presence of \
This somehow 'delays' or 'overrides' the \
 tag
